July 19, 2005 Norcross, GA -- OFS announced that, through its distributor Tal Technologies, it has been selected by Cablemas, one of Mexico's largest Cable TV providers, to provide approximately $1 million worth of its AllWave Zero Water Peak (ZWP) optical fiber in its "Light Armor Loose Tube" cable and connectivity products. According to a press release, the contract award was made in April 2005, extending business previously given to OFS in 2004.
"The installation of AllWave ZWP gives Cablemas a competitive advantage over CATV providers in the area, by offering, increased bandwidth to improve the customer experience [of] triple play services," comments Enrique Lopez, OFS' Mexico sales manager. "Understanding Cablemas's emphasis on quality, price, post sales support, and training from our joint efforts last year, we were able to meet their new requirements in a real-time fashion."
The company says that installation of its AllWave ZWP optical fiber can increase capacity for video, voice, and data services by up to 50% in the areas served by Cablemas, by allowing transmission in the 1400-nm wavelength range.
